Tuning: E A D G B E

Black Dog in the Sky from The Magic Bridge (2011) by Richard Dawson Most of Richard Dawson's songs appear to be in some sort of open tuning, but if you're willing to sacrifice some of the embellishments, these chords will work nicely: [Verse 1]

As I r^Dode to your ho^Ause I was b^Deaten and rob^Gbed By a b^Dand of m^Aoon-faced va^Dgabonds They were rif^Dling through my po^Ackets and un^Dtying my sh^Goes Wh^Den the air be^Agan to b^Doil

[Chorus]

Sl^Aow is the black dog in the s^Dky Who pis^Ases and slobbers all over the wo^Drld From Bel^Gford to Wooler, to Bea^Ddnell and Ford He s^Bmlowly dev^Aours the l^Dand

[Bridge]

I did n^Dot see what occu^Arred but I he^Dard their awful sou^Gnds And sm^Delled the per^Afume of de^Dath When I o^Dpened my ey^Aes the Su^Dn no longer sh^Gined Fo^Dr those po^Aor chi^Dldren

[Verse 2]

H^Dere I lie in the m^Aud, my wa^Distcoat caked in bl^Good Not ab^Dle to sta^And of my own voli^Dtion A fl^Dash of lightning il^Aluminates the be^Dlly of the b^Geast I see ent^Drails dripp^Aing in the tr^Dees

[Chorus]

Sl^Aow is the black dog in the s^Dky Who pi^Asses and slobbers all over the wo^Drld From Bel^Gford to Wooler, to Bea^Ddnell and Ford He sl^Bmowly dev^Aours the la^Dnd

[Verse 3]

N^Dow I run through the ni^Aght though my bo^Dnes are on f^Gire To s^Dee you in the bo^Asom of the hi^Dlls Through an oc^Dean of f^Aog I am cea^Dselessly dr^Gawn To the la^Dntern ^Ain your wi^Dndow To the la^Dntern ^Ain your wi^Dndow To the la^Dntern ^Ain your wi^Dndow To the la^Dntern ^Ain your wi^Dndow
